I would really confuse that student given that I have Emacs open all the time (one frame for mail and one for other stuff) but then constantly run vi (not vim) from the shell because it's faster than opening the same file in Emacs (assuming it's even on the same machine).
Remember when Emacs was said to be an acronym for "eight megabytes and constantly swapping"? Those were the days. I'm guessing VS Code is closer to eight GIGAbytes, amirite?
